Karen Civil
Karen Civil (born November 8, 1984) also known as "KC", is a Haitian American music executive and digital media marketing strategist. She gained attention for creating and running Weezythanxyou.com, a website where the rapper Lil Wayne published letters to his fans while he was incarcerated at Rikers Island.
Civil grew up in a Haitian-American family in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She attended Elizabeth High School, then Union County College in New Jersey. She received an online degree from Harvard Business School in 2019.
Civil began her media career in college, developing fan sites for actor J. D. Williams and The Backstreet Boys; the Backstreet Boys site came in third in a national competition and the Williams site put Civil in touch with the actor after Williams' lawyer sought her out. After graduating from high school, Civil entered community college but left to take an internship at radio station Hot 97 with DJ Funkmaster Flex in 2002, where she worked as a staff assistant; she also began working with The Diplomats to develop e-commerce for the group. Civil later moved to Asylum Records.
In 2008, Civil founded her own website karencivil.com and a marketing agency, Always Civil Enterprise, focused on digital strategy in the hip-hop industry. She was included in Billboard's Twitter 140. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to start Always Civil Enterprise, with Lil Wayne as her first client. Her company subsequently went on to work with artists such as Mary J. Blige, Young Jeezy, Lee Daniels, Dave East, Ben Baller & James Harden.
In 2010 worked with rapper Lil Wayne to develop Weezythanxyou.com, so that the rapper could publish letters to his fans while he was incarcerated at Rikers Island. Since beginning her work with Lil Wayne, she has become involved with his company, Young Money, where she became the company's general manager and executive vice president in August 2022.
From 2011 to 2018, she worked with Beats by Dre as digital marketing manager.
Civil has become a public speaker, hosting events at universities, media outlets like BET, and women empowerment conferences and panels.
